Ellen Malcolm writes, "here we are in the fourth quarter of the nominating process and the game is too close to call. Once again, the opponents and the media are calling for Hillary to quit. The first woman ever to win a presidential primary is supposed to stop competing, to curtsy and exit stage right. Why on earth should one candidate quit before the contest is finished? Democrats need not be so fainthearted."

Cokie and Steve Roberts write, " Democrats seem intent on nominating Barack Obama, in the face of mounting evidence that Hillary Clinton would be the stronger candidate against John McCain in November. And they only have themselves to blame."

The National Organization for Women PAC is stepping up to the plate yet again in their efforts to elect Hillary Rodham Clinton as the Democratic nominee for President. In addition to phoning female supporters and organizing on-the-ground to galvanize women voters, last month NOW PAC started an Internet ad campaign.

She urged the Senate to pass legislation to remove an obstacle that denies women and other workers a fair opportunity to seek redress when they are the victims of pay discrimination.

The Tampa Tribune writes, "Tampa Bay area residents and about 250 other Floridians - most of them Latino - upset with the stalemate over the state's presidential delegates demonstrated outside of Democratic National Committee headquarters Wednesday...Among those selected to speak at the entrance of DNC headquarters were Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, a national Clinton campaign co-chairwoman, and Kim Gandy, the National Organization for Women president who has endorsed Clinton."

The National Organization for Women Political Action Committee (NOW PAC) joins our national and Florida allies in calling on the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to count their votes now. Wednesday, April 30th at 10 a.m., NOW PAC and other groups will be demonstrating in front of the Democratic National Committee, urging DNC leaders and the DNC Credentials Committee to count the Florida votes.

National and state NOW leaders are coming to Indiana to meet with NOW members and feminist voters to tell personal and moving stories about working with Hillary Clinton on women's rights issues and underscore our first-hand knowledge of her commitment to women and families and a better - more equal - world.

Hillary Rodham Clinton now leads John McCain by 9 points in a head-to-head presidential matchup, according to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

Poet and activist Dr. Maya Angelou wrote an open letter about her commitment to Hillary’s candidacy. "Hillary does not waver in standing up for those who need a champion... I am supporting Hillary Clinton because I know that she will make the most positive difference in people's lives and she will help our country become what it can be."
